"They're here!" Autumn calls out a warning to the others. "Big cats coming our way! Don't let them catch you off guard!" She looks back at Abrol and whispers a quick incantation to grant him Guidance, and then another to quickly raise a protective Shield in front of herself.

Remember that since Toanthel used the defend exploration activity he starts with his shield raised. Current AC is 22.

Abrol slightly moves so he can take a shot against a lion, he decides to hunt the middle animal, and he aims higher and shoots over the Autumn, trying to strike his prey.
Autumn give a rousing warning and prepares for the cats to come forward.
The first one strides out and pounces on Toanthel
Jaws attack:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27 Jaws Damage:1d10 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 P plus grab
then grabbing a hold of the elf in its jaws
Then second takes some quick cover behind the small tunnel before sneaking and pouncing on Autumn
Hide:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 sneak:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Fortunately Autumn is aware an is not flat-footed by the pounce.
Jaws attack:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20 Jaws Damage:1d10 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 P
But is still bitten, though since it took time to attempt stealth it does not get a hold on the bard.
Abrols then fires two arrows at the lion with one of the arrows hitting.

"Disturbing that these fine beasts would attack so quickly, but I suppose it isn't surprising if they've gotten used to a diet of bridge worker every night. We'd better put them down quickly."
Kurnek extends his protective ward for another round and another 5 feet, then casts electric arc on the lions with red and blue stains on their fur.
Electric arc:1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
◆: Sustain a spell ◆◆: Cast a spell
I already previewed my turn so I don't believe I should change it, but next round I think I should drop the protective ward if the red lion hasn't been killed by then. I didn't mean to include the lion and exclude Toanthel, but that's what it looks like. I'm sorry about that.
Kurnek's arc hits both, but the red lion rolls with some of the burst
The flask from Drizzic doesn't strike true and just splashes a little on the lion.
The remaining lion slinks in the shadows before pouncing on Drizzic
lion sneak:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24 Jaws attack:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14
Although catching the alchemist flat-footed, the beast is not able to land it's jaws on him. It then follows up with a swipe of its claw.
Claw attack:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22 Claw damage:1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 S
Which does slice in to the goblin.
Bold can now act.

Toanthel goes into a flurry and strikes the lion grabbing him with his pick.

Seeing an opportunity, Autumn quickly reaches out a hand to the lion engaged with Katami, and unleashes a burst of negative energy into the large cat. Remembering their vicious bite, she then swiftly steps away.
The spell deals negative damage equal to 1d4 plus your spellcasting modifier. The target attempts a basic Fortitude save, but is also enfeebled 1 for 1 round on a critical failure. DC 16
Chill Touch:1d4 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
◆: Step 5 feet from square west of Katami to sqaure north of Katami.
Toanthel swings and though unstable to start a last second correction makes him strike true.
leopard fort:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Autumn's chill touch slows the creature a bit, but not significantly
The leopard holding on to Toanthel mauls him with its two front claws.
Claw attack:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 Claw attack:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28 Claw damage:1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 S
Though you are able to bring your shield to bare to stave off some of the damage.
It then attempts to bite and hold its grab
Jaws attack:1d20 + 10 - 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 - 10 = 19
But does not get purchase, and just flails its mauling claws one more time.

Abrol thinks: This situation is getting dire real fast.
He decides to make a hunted shot against the hunted creature (Blue Lion) and target the other lion (Red Lion), and he moves back to the northeast position. He hopes that others can finish off the other creature.
◆: Step ◆: Interact and Strike (Bottled Lightning, Lesser) @ Green
Acid Flask, Lesser:1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 1 = 24 2 Acid Damage to Green Lion, 1d6 Persistent Acid Damage to Green Lion, and 1 Acid Splash Damage to Green and Red Lion.
Abrol's arrows wound but don't down the creature.
However, Katami's shots does finish off the lion in front of him
Drizzic's acid flask hits the cat while it starts to eat though its fur.
The Green lion cautiously move forward and attempts to bit the alchemist once more.
Jaws attack:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25 Jaws Damage:1d10 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 P plus grab
Biting and holding on. The acid then burns

"Gods, people! Do we need to fall back?"
Kurnek extends his protective ward for another round and another 5 feet to shield everyone, then casts electric arc on the green and blue lions.
"My life! Fading. The darkness...don't...forget...to buy Rook's Alchemical goods." Drizzic says dramatically as the lion nearly drops him from blood loss but remains standing, if only barely.

With a fearful look to Drizzic, Autumn frantically retrieves the Magic Missile scroll she received before setting out, and uses it to hurl two magic darts at the remaining lion.

Toanthel steps up to the remaining Lion and then tries to bury his pick in its skull before resuming a defensive stance.

Abrol thinks: This encounter is getting close.
He moves west, designates the last lion as his prey and takes a hunted shot at it.
◆ Stride
◆ Hunt Prey (Green Lion)
◆ Hunted Shot (Green Lion)
Toanthel did hit so the green lion is at 26 dmg with that and the magic missles
With two quick shots, Abrol puts the last standing cat down. On closer inspection these felines were leopards and not full lions. But still, cats of decent size.
You can just make out a large passage deeper in to the cave.

Toanthel drinks one of his minor healing potions before the group proceeds.
Healing:1d8 ⇒ 2
Toanthel had 3 temp hp from the rage that would have absorbed the claw damage that got through his shield, so with the healing potion he should only be down 3 hp right now.

After the dangerous encounter with the leopards, Autumn scouts ahead of the group, keeping an eye out for any further dangers with her low-light vision.

Toanthel will continue to keep to the front, raising his shield to defend.
Drizzic continues trying to be quiet, looking to the group and putting a finger up to his sharp grin. He also waves a vial at Autumn.
Have a Elixir of Life, Minor. You are free to use it, 1d6. I make at least 2 a day and have another batch of reagents I keep handy if I need to make 2 more.

Kurnek follows a bit behind Autumn and Toanthel, scanning the area for traces of magic.

I'd like to wait at least one minute so that I can use my rage again.
As you come to the stairs, a halfling in furs with claws for hands appears. "Interlopers to defile the way of Nature. You have killed my cubs, and I will deal the same fate to you" She hisses like a feral cat and begins to move forward.

"They attacked us first!" Autumn yells back at the halfling. "But we're going to put a stop to you!" She reaches out a hand to Toanthel, asking for Nethys' guidance, then unsheathes her rapier.

Toanthel decides to throw caution to the wind and strike. He reaches the top of the steps and then rushes to attack.

What is the oval of red dashes?
Kurnek moves closer to the crevasse to get a better view of the halfling. "Have you and your cubs been attacking the goblin workers at the camp by the river?"
With combat already underway, Kurnek does not wait for an answer. He casts ray of frost at the halfling.
